Hello ladies and gents!

As some of you may recall I once owned a black s13 and had been poking around for something older and more "classic" while still being RWD. I looked at Escorts and Geminis and basically discovered that people think that they are worth a lot of money, even if they are doing their best colander impersonation. I got to thinking about one of my first loves - the ae86. If I'm spending this much money they are back on the radar? I took one for a drive. Yes, this is what I want...

Then, as luck would have it the right car popped up on Gumtree. Yellow. Hatchback. No rust and a 4age swap.Talked to the seller who turned out to be a Toyota workshop manager and an ae86 nut. He also had a TRD 2 way diff he could throw in. We arranged a meeting and, not only was the car as good as described, we managed to agree on a price that was good for both of us. I had a clean ae86 and he knew his baby was going to someone who wasn't going to cut it up or roll it or sticker bomb it. One week after putting down a deposit (longest. week. ever.) we took the 2 hour drive and picked this up:







So awesome!

So, specs:

ADM shell
4age swap - stock save for throttle body, Microtech computer and exhaust
Lowered springs (unknown brand)
JDM front lip and Levin grill
FRP hatch w/ TRD wing (to be replaced with steel hatch with GTV wing)
Tom's Igeta 14x6.5 wheels, 185/60r14 tyres
JDM disk brake diff, 4.3 CWP, TRD 2 way LSD

So, plans? First things needed are a clutch bleed, refit the stock hatch (requires minor rust repair) and fit a more dished steering wheel as the current Momo has no offset and sits on my knees.

Then I want to fit some Recaro's as the next mod and enjoy it for a while. Later on some further suspension tweaks and some more horsepower would be good!

Hopefully I will get to the doing some hillclimbs and track days in the very near future. Thanks for looking!
